Overview • Factbook • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Regal Narnian Empire of Topaztopia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol. Its compassionate, cynical population of 3.884 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mantichora. The average income tax rate is 72%, and even higher for the wealthy. An almost nonexistent private sector is dominated by the Trout Farming industry.

Daily newspapers are permitted to run only pro-government stories, the government's religious works are headed by a New Age guru, college students make ends meet by selling their kidneys, and Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Topaztopia. Crime is totally unknown. Topaztopia's national animal is the Basilisk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the TTD.

Topaztopia is ranked 3rd in The Council of Narnia and 14,447th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 55 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
